Pharmaceutical Biotechnology offers students taking Pharmacyand related Medical and Pharmaceutical courses a comprehensiveintroduction to the fast-moving area of biopharmaceuticals. With aparticular focus on the subject taken from a pharmaceuticalperspective, initial chapters offer a broad introduction to proteinscience and recombinant DNA technology- key areas that underpin thewhole subject. Subsequent chapters focus upon the development,production and analysis of these substances. Finally the book moveson to explore the science, biotechnology and medical applicationsof specific biotech products categories. These include not onlyprotein-based substances but also nucleic acid and cell-basedproducts.
